Over the past decade, it's been difficult to separate science from politics when it comes to climate change. Somewhere along the line, evidence for anthropogenic climate change became a "left" issue and the denial of that evidence became a "right" issue for many. And instead of focusing on the testable and observable, pundits looked to make their case by focusing on manufactured controversies like "climate-gate" or by getting non-climate experts like geneticists and astrophysicists to sign a "No Need to Panic About Global Warming" letter, as if all "scientists" are equally prepared to tackle any subject.

At Explainer Music, we say this a lot with our explainer videos, but it bears repeating: This is not meant to be "everything-you-need-to-know-about-climate-change." Instead we hope that after watching (and playing with) this song you'll have the background to understand the basics in order to start a rational conversation about the topic, and to know what people are really talking about when they talk about climate change.
